Re: Electrical question

[Martin Howell <martin.howell@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Frank,

No need for alarm, all the lights are on the same breaker.  He ran a
single live to the switch and then just series-connected all the
switches to it.  Did the job this afternoon, works a treat.  Also
discovered the hard way that one of the wires behind the switch is _not_
connected to the same breaker as the lights - oh, and the breaker that
turns off the bedroom lights is labelled 'bathrooms'.  I wonder what
other surprises he has prepared for us....
